Who all works in the oil fields

[downshift_me]

Yep, that SMKR clown listed a job for $80-$85k on this site - when you looked at the details it was like 16 straight 15 hour days or something.

Yeah that job sucked, but there is plenty of "GOOD" money to be made. My ex is a driller and my cousin is a company man/consultant whichever you prefer to call it.

Brannon Sewer Service and we have been in the oil field for going on 8 years.
We rent out portable septic/fresh water systems for the bunks houses, we also rent out restroom trailers and port-a-Jon's.

There's a pretty substantial gap in dfwm GOOD definitions:

good / GOOD

8MPG: $40k / $70k

ruffdaddy: $90k / $150k

That's 240hrs per month condensed into two weeks.

Some people need the higher pay and don't really have the skills to get a good paying desk job. Some just want the relative freedom of having what equates to 6 months off every year. (This is the thing that has intrigued me somewhat)

I'm glad he brought it here because a lot of these guys could use the pay. I certainly don't want people to stop posting opportunities for our members because some of us who make money don't find it appealing. I personally want all the clown jobs posted. (except that advocare bullsh*t)

A yob is better than no yob.

I shouldn't have implied that he was a clown because he posted that job - I agree with your assessment. He's a clown for many other reasons.

engineering side is where it's at in the o&g business.

I've been working the field for the last 6 years. Three of which were overseas as a consultant/auditor for OHSAS management systems and risk management. I'm now back stateside as a regulatory & compliance manager for a service company. Majority of my work is offshore dealing with SEMS.
